A Day With Your Average Gamer

The alarm clock goes off. It's time to get up. Without a job since May, I reach over and hit that lovely snooze button for a few more winks. As I close my eyes I begin to see flashes of color and blasts of sounds. I toss and turn trying to shake the sights and sounds from waking me from my extended rest, but find the fight to be futile. Finally, I sit up in my bed and rub the crust out of my eyes and take a look across the room to my "recreational area". A pulse has been shooting from my Playstation 3 since that alarm first blasted my favorite Green Day tune. "Do you have the time?..." I do Sony...I do...

A shower and quick bowl of my favorite cereal later and I am ready to go. Not a care in the world. Not a responsibility. Nothing. Nothing stands in my way now. The cold controller in hand I press the PS button. My day has officially started. What will it be today? - A war for Cybertron? Should I fight valiantly for the wild west with six shooter in hand? Should I send a shocking pulse through a fictional city in efforts to unravel a mystery? The choice is mine. That is why. THIS is why. This is why I am a gamer. Time to sink myself into a void of wonderment.
